I just got my results from the June LSAT and got a 160. I'm a little disappointed, but I only really studied hard for a couple of weeks prior to taking it so I guess it's to be expected. I'm considering retaking it in October, but really would rather not if I don't have to. Anyway, I'm an African American male, and 1/16 Cherokee. I am a business admin/ accounting double major with a 3.87 GPA. I have decent extracariculars because of heavy involvement with all of my school's business groups. Also I have interned at a local park district and Sam's Club along with some other stuff.Originally I was just looking at schools around the top 30 with my first choice being Ohio State with Iowa, Indiana Bloomington, and Wake Forest being "reach schools". Then I visited this site and realized that being a URM gives me a much better shot then I originally anticipated. I did a little research using lawschoolpredictor.com and it gave me solid chances all the way through the top 20s. With possible consideration all the way up to Berkley. Is this actually realistic? I hadn't expected being AA to be that big of a boost Were I to retake, I feel a 165 would not be completely out of the realm of possibility were I to greatly up my study time, considering I did not study very long at all for the last one and that would greatly up my chances. However, I don't really want to tempt fate and end up with a lower score and bring my average down.Any Advice would be much appreciated

LOL...you're not the only one who didn't know about the URM boost before TLS If you retake for 165+, HYS are possibilities. But even as you stand, I suggest you blanket the T14. And if you get WLed at the T6, unless the school at which you deposit says otherwise, do not withdraw. I personally know some people with stats lower than yours that recently got in off a T6 WL.

You have excellent shot at T14 with $. I speak from experience and lawschoolnumbers.com profiles. Got one friend 153/3.7 just graduated from UPenn Law. Another friend 157/3.4 entering 2nd year at UMich Law. Me, mid 150's/3.7 (half tuition scholly) entering 1st year at WUSTL. Im quite surprised you did not know of your URM boost.

PM me if you want more specifics but I promise you you will get into the top 10. You have a small shot at Yale. Your chances at Harvard and Stanford are pretty good, your chances at Chicago and Columbia are very good, and you are basically a lock for all the other top 14 schools. You will get money at many of the top 14.
